SHH Adoption Event

Secondhand Hounds had an adoption event at the PetSmart in Maple Grove, MN and there were lots of cute doggies hanging out who need forever homes!  I suppose any reason to head to that corner of Maple Grove where you can stop in at Nadia Cakes (remember the cupcakes??) doesn't hurt, but I do love photographing pets so that is incentive in itself.





If you head to the Secondhand Hounds dog adoption page you can find all of these cuties, and MORE:

I love the spectators :)

This is mine because I licked it.

If you adopt Pixel, he would probably love agility training!

Engagement Session, Beagle Included

Since my previous post had beagles in it, I figured I might as well continue the theme!  This adorable couple (getting married this year!!) brought along their beagle for their engagement session.  I can't wait for their beautiful fall wedding!

And if you are curious about the great signs, check out Appleberry's Attic :)

Beagles

My grandparents used to have a beagle, Cassie.  I remember she would run away a lot but she would always end up at my great-aunt's house a few blocks away where her springer spaniel friend Lucy lived.  It's cute how dogs can have best friends too.

This wonderful family has two beagles and neither of them ran away during the photo session, although I think they tried  :)

Eastman Nature Center

This past fall my kids and a couple of friends went to check out the nature center in Maple Grove after preschool one day.  The Eastman Nature Center had just opened after a building remodeling project so we explored some of the outdoor paths and then saw some of the exhibits in the building, including some live critters.  It's always nice to add a fun kid place to the entertainment list, especially ones with indoor options this time of year when it is frozen tundra outside!

My kids get their photos taken all the time, so these are mostly of their adorable friends...

The whole crew!!
